The Walk Against Nuclear Waste on Treaty #3 Lands resumes today. (Monday)
A group of opponents to a proposed underground nuclear repository in the area left Ignace late last week and after a couple of days staying in Dryden they are now off to Sioux Lookout.
The third annual peaceful walk is being led by Elder Darlene Necan but has received support from others including members of Eagle Lake First Nation and the Sunset Country Spirit Alliance.
Necan says she is committed to raising awareness about the threat to local waterways and future generations of nuclear waste coming to Treaty 3 lands.
She says the Northwestern Ontario candidate site is at the headwaters of the Wabigoon and Turtle River watersheds, from which Wabigoon Lake and Lake of the Woods are downstream.
